Best Munros Near Fort William
These are some of the best Munros near Fort William (and some corbetts)! To attempt these walks you will need a good level of fitness, excellent navigational and route finding skills and a decent head for heights. If attempting in winter you will need an ice axe and crampons with a good idea of how to use them. If these are too much check out our easy Munros page. If you want more check out our epic days page.
Ben Nevis Via CMD Arete
One of the best munro days Britain has to offer. 2 Munros (Ben Nevis & Carn Mor Dearg) an incredible view of Ben Nevis and a long fun scramble with not too much exposure. Check the summit map of Ben Nevis before attempting this and be aware of the dangers. If you have any questions please message us. Here is a cheesey video of our CMD day on NYE 2019. You can attempt this epic adventure directly from Highwinds, which will add on a couple of miles to the Walkhighlands route.

Biden Nam Bian
A steep ascent, incredible views and an airy ascent to the summit. Coming down via the lost valley makes for a great circuit.

The Grey Corries
A stunning circuit taking in Stob Choire Claurigh, Stob Coire an Laoigh and Sgurr Choinnich Mor, it’s a long and fairly demanding day out in the mountains but you’re rewarded with incredible views on all sides. To the West Aonach Mor and Ben Nevis are nicely lined up which looks particularly spectacular.
The drive to the start of the walk is on a VERY rough track so if you have a delicate car you may want to avoid this walk.
